Years of liberalism spawned a generation of amoral, uneducated, dependent, brutalised youngsters
Daily Mail Online (UK) ^ | 08-10-11 | Max Hastings

A few weeks after the U.S. city of Detroit was ravaged by 1967 race riots in which 43 people died, I was shown around the wrecked areas by a black reporter named Joe Strickland.

He said: ‘Don’t you believe all that stuff people here are giving media folk about how sorry they are about what happened. When they talk to each other, they say: “It was a great fire, man!” ’

I am sure that is what many of the young rioters, black and white, who have burned and looted in England through the past few shocking nights think today.

It was fun. It made life interesting. It got people to notice them. As a girl looter told a BBC reporter, it showed ‘the rich’ and the police that ‘we can do what we like’.

This aticle has been live on FR since early this AM. Rush even featured it on his show today.

I have no qualms with you re-posting it again, as different FReepers show up at different times of the day.

I think you might find it interesting to peruse the earlier threads.

Have a goos evening.

These riots were indicative of an almost complete breakdown of civilized society in England, due to the marxist/socialist sustained campaign of teaching and waging class warfare over the past 80 years.

Add to this the lower level of education that these “youts” get in their schools, the infiltration of marxist teachers into the schools and the teachers unions, and the absolutely gutlessness of the Labor Party (leftists) and their asskissing affiliated parties.

It is time for a total political revolution in England in which the Left is totally destroyed - communist, Moslem, black extremists, anarchists, and common criminals are arrested en mass and sent to jail for many years.

Now is the time to break the back of these “blocs”. A failure to do so will embolden them to more violence just as the Cloward-Piven and Saul Alinsky strategies advocated.

England: You’ve got only one chance to save yourself, or you will go down Sir. Thomas Crappers’ “crapper” and never rise again.

PS: A good Second Amendent which would allow business owners to keep handguns and small rifles legally would do wonders to keep the riffraff at bay. I’ve seen that work very well here in the U.S. Even the “stupid” get very “wise” when confronted by an armed and angry business owner.

The new slogan for England should be “Armed, with balls of steel, and willing to shoot”.

Interesting. I think it was perhaps 80 years ago when church attendance began a gradual decline in the UK. They chose a god of liberalism and Marxism instead of the true God.

These “teachers” might want to wear some sort of armband, differentiating themselves, if they’re smart. Might be too late.

In proper "British" English, that would be, "Armed, with ballocks of steel, and willing to shoot."

The only person I talked to who participated in a full riot did it as a kid. He threw rocks off an overpass at white people driving below. The impression I got was that he and his little buddies, thought it was great fun at the time, after all it was only the white people they targeted. I was not sure if even as an adult many years later he realized the full horror of what he had done. It is hard to leave the hoodlum behind even when someone leaves the hood. People do lots of evil things just for their amusement.

Brutalized has two meanings: (1) Treated with brutality, and (2) Turned into a brute. I think the author means it in the second sense.

Sorry, I was at the doctor’s office this am and just saw the article. I haven’t achieved perfection yet, but then, neither has the goos.

Too funny! half the fun of FR is finding all the errors one makes AFTER hitting the post button.

I wasn’t picking on you. I am glad you posted it again.

If you haven’t been there, go to Drudge and read the updated report from Wisconsin about the transcripts of the 911 calls from the wildings there.
